In 1818, James Cavender purchased 50 acres on Duchman's Creek, Rowan County, North Carolina from Daniel Crouse and Franny Crouse (“Fanny Crouse”?, “Frances Grouse” & "Frainey Crouse"?). William Crouse and Haley Tatum were appointed executors and Joshua Hendrix ("Joshua Hendricks"?) and Robert Foster were witnesses.371 On January 7, 1826, Joel Banks sold 82.5 acres on the North Yadkin River to Daniel Click, both of Rowan County, North Carolina for $247. The property was situated next to Daniel Click, John Smith, Deadman (“Dedman”?) and John Banks. The indenture was witnessed by Elisha Butler and Nicholas Click, Jr.371 On August 19, 1828, James Cavender sold to Elizabeth Crump and Ronald Crump, all of Rowan County, North Carolina, 160 acres at the mouth of Reedy Run on the south side of Dutchmans Creek and Yadkin River for $320. The indenture was witnessed by John Jones and John Lynn.371 On February 19, 1833, a James Cavender of Rowan County, North Carolina sold to Jehu Foster of Rowan County his acreage on the Main Yadkin River next to the mouth of Dutchmans Creek. The indenture was witnessed by Burton Craige and Radford Bailey. The acreage was formerly owned by Thomas Foster and later became part of the dower of the widow of Thomas Foster and who later became the wife of John W. Robertson ("John Robertson") who conveyed it by deed of trust on June 5, 1832.371 In 1837, he conveyed 200 acres of land to James Smith and William March, which strongly indicates that James Cavender did, in fact, marry Mary Smith in 1794. Apparently as a result of James Smith and William March, Sr. having taken a so-called "writ of sequestration" (apparently a foreclosure) on the property of James Cavender for $2,000 security on the estate of Thomas Hainline, with William March, Sr. as surety, and, as a result, James Cavender was indebted to Robert G. Hargrave ("Robert Hargrave") for $350, to the Cape Fear Bank at Salem for $240, to Michael Click for $80, and to Charles Harris for $160. On August 19, 1837, James Cavender sold the following property to James Smith and William March, Sr.: 200 acres on the Yadkin River known as the Potts tract which was adjacent to Caudle L. Wyatt ("Caudle Wyatt"); 78 acres known as the Lewis Tract; 140 acres known as the Thompson Tract on Mill Creek adjacent to H.L.

If the actual date of marriage of Clemeth Cavender to Comfort Slavens is correct, then Joseph Cavender born about 1828 and Sarah Cavender born about 1829 mentioned below could not have been children of Clemeth Cavender. Harden Cavender married Fannie Pearson ("Fanny Pearson") on August 26, 1891, and died April 6, 1928 in Baldwin, Kansas.

(iii) JAMES CAVENDER; (iv) ELIZABETH CAVENDER who is believed to have been born around 1817, based upon the assumption that she was 18 years of age when she married George D.

Peters) being the bondsman and Joseph Hawes performing the ceremony;364 & 417and possibly, (but not likely) (v) CORNELIA CAVENDER who was born in North Carolina in 1821 and who married James Riley; (vi) BARBARA CAVENDER born about 1780 in Virginia, and married Madrick Herrit on March 12, 1818 in Jasper County, Georgia; and, (viii) GEORGE C.

His wife Frances Cavender stated that her parents were born in Virginia. There is also evidence that George Cavender was born to the Ezekiel Cavender who was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia about 1740 and who is also said to have married the above Elizabeth Stallard. On October 5, 1824, a George Cavender of Jasper County, Georgia sold to Thomas Smith at a Sheriff's sale a parcel of land which was originally in Baldwin County, Georgia but then was in Jasper County, Georgia.
